John 11:1-16:33 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and Martha her sister. ² It was the Mary that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ Therefore his sisters sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. ⁴ But when Jesus heard it, he said: This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that by it the Son of God may be glorified. ⁵ Now, Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. ⁶ When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, he still remained two days in the place where he was. ⁷ Then after this, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again. ⁸ His disciples said to him: Rabbi, the Jews just now sought to stone thee, and art thou going thither again? ⁹ Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walks during the day,, he does not stumble, for he sees the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if any one walks in the night, he stumbles, be cause there is no light in him. ¹¹ Thus spoke he; and after this he said to them: Our friend Lazarus sleeps; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep. ¹² Then his disciples said: Lord, if he sleeps, he will be saved. ¹³ Jesus spoke of his death; but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep. ¹⁴ Therefore, Jesus then said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead. ¹⁵ And I rejoice, on your account, that I was not there, in order that you may believe. But let us go to him. ¹⁶ Then Thomas, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow-disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him. ¹⁷ Then when Jesus came, he found that he had already been four days in the tomb. ¹⁸ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off. ¹⁹ And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. ²⁰ Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went out to meet him; but Mary sat still in the house. ²¹ Then Martha said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here my brother would not have died. ²² But even now, I know that whatever thou wilt ask of God, God will give thee. ²³ Jesus said to her: Your brother shall rise again. ²⁴ Martha said to him: I know that he will rise, in the resurrection at the last day. ²⁵ Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believes on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; ²⁶ and he that lives and believes on me, shall never die. Do you believe this? ²⁷ She said to him: Yes, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world. ²⁸ And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying: The Teacher has come, and calls for you. ²⁹ When she heard it, she rose quickly and came to him. ³⁰ Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him. ³¹ Then the Jews that were with her in the house, and were comforting her, seeing Mary rise and go out quickly, followed her, saying: She is going to the tomb to weep there. ³² Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died. ³³ Then, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews that came with her weeping also, he was greatly moved in spirit, and troubled; ³⁴ and he said: Where have you laid him? They said to him: Lord, come and see. ³⁵ Jesus wept. ³⁶ Then said the Jews: See how he loved him! ³⁷ And some of them said: Could not he, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have caused that even this man should not have died? ³⁸ Then Jesus, again greatly moved within himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was laid against it. ³⁹ Jesus said: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said to him: Lord, the body is offensive; for he has been dead four days. ⁴⁰ Jesus said to her: Did I not tell you, that, if you would believe, you should see the glory of God? ⁴¹ Then they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted -up his eyes and said: Father, I thank thee, that thou hast heard me. ⁴² I know, in deed, that thou dost always hear me. But for the sake of the multitude who stand around me, I have said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. ⁴³ And when he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. ⁴⁴ And he that had been dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound around with a handkerchief. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go. ⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews that had come to Mary, and who saw what he had done, believed on him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin, and said: What are we doing? For this man does many signs. ⁴⁸ If we thus let him alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation. ⁴⁹ But one of them, Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year, said to them: You know nothing, ⁵⁰ nor do you consider that it is profitable for us, that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish. ⁵¹ But this he did not speak of himself; but being chief priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation; ⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he should gather into one the children of God that were scattered abroad. ⁵³ From that day, therefore, they consulted together to put him to death. ⁵⁴ Therefore, Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but withdrew thence to the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he remained with his disciples. ⁵⁵ And the passover of the Jews was near; and many went up from the country to Jerusalem, before the passover, to purify themselves. ⁵⁶ Then they sought for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple: What think you, that he will not come to the feast? ⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where he was, he should inform them, that they might take him. ¹² ¹ Then, six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead. ² There they made him a supper, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him. ³ Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the perfume of the ointment. ⁴ Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to deliver him up: ⁵ Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor? ⁶ But he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and took what was put in it. ⁷ Then Jesus said: Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of my burial. ⁸ For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always. ⁹ Therefore, a great multitude of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not on account of Jesus only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. ¹⁰ But the chief priests consulted that they might kill Lazarus also, ¹¹ because on account of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. ¹² On the next day, a great multitude that had come to the feast, having heard that Jesus was coming into Jerusalem, ¹³ took branches of palm-trees, and went out to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord. ¹⁴ And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon him, as it is written: ¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king comes, sitting on the colt of an ass. ¹⁶ His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him. ¹⁷ The multitude therefore that was with him, testified that he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead. ¹⁸ For this reason, also, the multitude met him, be cause they had heard that he had done this sign. ¹⁹ Then the Pharisees said among themselves: You see that you gain nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him. ²⁰ Among those who came to worship at the feast were certain Greeks. ²¹ These then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying: Sir, we wish to see Jesus. ²² Philip came and told Andrew; and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus. ²³ But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour has come that the Son of man must be glorified. ²⁴ Verily, verily I say to you, unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remains alone; but if it die, it produces much fruit. ²⁵ He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to eternal life. ²⁶ If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be. If any one serve me, him will my Father honor. ²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? But for this purpose came I to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. Then there came a voice from heaven: I have glorified it, and will glorify it again. ²⁹ Then the multitude that stood by and heard it, said: It thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him. ³⁰ Jesus answered and said: This voice came not for my sake, but for yours. ³¹ Now is the judgment of this world: now is the prince of this world cast out. ³² And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself. ³³ This he said, signifying what death he was about to die. ³⁴ The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law, that the Christ remains forever: and how say you that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? ³⁵ Then Jesus said to them: Yet a little while is the light with you: walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you. For he that walks in the darkness knows not whither he goes. ³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become the sons of light. These things spoke Jesus, and he departed, and concealed himself from them. ³⁷ But though he had done so many signs in their presence, yet they believed not on him, ³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: ⁴⁰ He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I should give them health. ⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. ⁴² But yet, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees, they would not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; ⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. ⁴⁴ Jesus cried, and said: He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me. ⁴⁵ And he that sees me, sees him that sent me. ⁴⁶ I have come a light into the world, that he who believes on me, may not remain in darkness. ⁴⁷ And if any one hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ He that rejects me, and receives not my words, has that which judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day. ⁴⁹ For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is life eternal. What things I speak therefore, as the Father has said to me, so I speak. ¹³ ¹ Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come that he must go out of this world to his Father; and having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them to the end. ² And supper being over, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to deliver him up, ³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had delivered all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was going to God, ⁴ arose from supper, and laid aside his garments, and taking a towel, he girded himself. ⁵ Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash his disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. ⁶ Then he came to Simon Peter; and Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet? ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him: What I am doing you know not now, but you will know here after. ⁸ Peter said to him: Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him: Unless I wash you, you have no part with me. ⁹ Simon Peter said to him: Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus said to him: He that has bathed needs nothing else save to wash his feet, but is wholly clean. And you are clean, but not all. ¹¹ For he knew who would deliver him up; for this reason he said, You are not all clean. ¹² Therefore, when he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, he reclined at table again, and said to them: Do you understand what I have done for you? ¹³ You call me Teacher and Lord; and you say well, for so I am. ¹⁴ If, then, I, your Lord and your Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that you also may do as I have done for you. ¹⁶ Verily, verily I say to you, the servant is not greater than his master, nor is he that is sent greater than he that sent him. ¹⁷ If you know these things, blessed are you, if you do them. ¹⁸ I speak not of you all. I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me. ¹⁹ I tell you this now, before it comes to pass, that when it comes to pass, you may believe that I am he. ²⁰ Verily, verily I say to you, he that receives him that I shall send, receives me; and he that receives me, receives him that sent me. ²¹ When Jesus had spoken these things, he was troubled in spirit, and testified and said: Verily, verily I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up. ²² Then the disciples looked at one another, doubting of whom he spoke. ²³ There was reclining on the bosom of Jesus, one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ Then Simon Peter beckoned to this one, that he should inquire who it was of whom he spoke. ²⁵ And he that was reclining on Jesus breast, said to him: Lord, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answered: It is he to whom I shall give this morsel after I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ And after the morsel was given, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him: What you do, do quickly. ²⁸ But none of those who reclined at table with him knew for what purpose he said this to him. ²⁹ For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ Then, on receiving the morsel, he immediately went out; and it was night. ³¹ When he had gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. ³² If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and will immediately glorify him. ³³ Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and, as I said to the Jews, whither I go, you can not come, so now I say to you. ³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. ³⁵ By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another. ³⁶ Simon Peter said to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him: Whither I go, you can not follow me now; but you shall follow me hereafter. ³⁷ Peter said to him: Lord, why can I not follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. ³⁸ Jesus answered him: Will you lay down your life for me? Verily, verily I say to you, the cock will not crow till you have denied me three times. ¹⁴ ¹ Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God; believe also in me. ² In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you with myself, that where I am, you may be also. ⁴ And whither I go you know, and the way you know. ⁵ Thomas said to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus said to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me. ⁷ If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. And from this time you know him, and have seen him. ⁸ Philip said to him: Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be content. ⁹ Jesus said to him: Have I been so long with you, and have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me, has seen the Father; and how say you, Show us the Father? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. The Father who dwells in me, he does the works. ¹¹ Believe me, that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me. If not, believe me on account of the works themselves. ¹² Verily, verily I say to you, he that believes on me, the works that I do he also shall do. Even greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father; ¹³ and whatever you ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask any thing in my name, I will do it. ¹⁵ If you love me, keep my commandments; ¹⁶ and I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Paraclete, that he may dwell with you forever; ¹⁷ the Spirit of the truth, whom the world can not receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, because he dwells with you, and shall be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you shall see me. Because I live, you also shall live. ²⁰ In that clay you shall know that I am in my Father, arid you in me, and I in you. ²¹ He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved by my Father; and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas, not Iscariot, said to him: Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him: If any one loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ He that loves me not, keeps not my words; and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you, while I am yet with you. ²⁶ But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I have spoken to you. ²⁷ Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, and let it not be afraid. ²⁸ You have heard that I said to you, I am going away, and am coming again to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I go to the Father; for my Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. ³⁰ I will not talk much more with you; for the prince of this world is coming, and has nothing in me. ³¹ But this takes place that the world may know that I love the Father, and even as he gave me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go hence. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser. ² Every branch in me that bears no fruit, he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. ³ Now are you pure, through the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in me, and I will abide in you. As the branch can not bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶ If any one abide not in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and such are gathered, and thrown into the fire, and burned. ⁷ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done for you. ⁸ In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and in this you will be my disciples. ⁹ As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. ¹² This is my commandment: That you love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no man than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you. ¹⁵ I no longer call you servants, because the servant knows not what his master does. But I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you, that you may go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit may remain; that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he may give you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that you may love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I spoke to you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. ²¹ But all these things they will do to you on my account, because they know not him that sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He that hates me, hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works that no other man has done, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen, and hated both me and my Father. ²⁵ But this is so, that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. ²⁶ But when the Paraclete has come, whom I will send to you from my Father, the Spirit of the truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me; ²⁷ and you also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning. ¹⁶ ¹ These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be ensnared. ² They will put you out of the synagogues; in deed, the time is coming, when he that kills you, will think that he is offering service to God. ³ And these things they will do, because they know neither the Father nor me. ⁴ But these things I have told you, that, when the time has come, you may remember that I told you of them. But these things I did not tell you at the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ And now I go to him that sent me, and no one of you asks me, "Whither goest thou? ⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ But yet I tell you the truth: it is profitable for you that I go away. For if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come to you. But if I go away, I will send him to you. ⁸ And when he has come, he will convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. ⁹ Of sin, because they believe not on me; ¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more; ¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. ¹² I have yet many things to say to you; but you can not bear them now. ¹³ But when he, the Spirit of the truth, has come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself; but what he hears, that will he speak, and he will show you things to come. ¹⁴ He will glorify me; for he will take of mine, and show it to you. ¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine; for this reason I said, that he will take of mine, and show it to you. ¹⁶ A little while, and you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me, be cause I go to the Father. ¹⁷ Then some of his disciples said one to another: "What is this that he says to us, A little while, and - you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me? and, Be cause I go to the Father? ¹⁸ Therefore they said: "What is this that he says, The little while? We know not what he says. ¹⁹ Then Jesus knew that they wished to ask him; and he said to them: Are you inquiring of one another about this, because I said, A little while and you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me? ²⁰ Verily, verily I say to you, you shall weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow, be cause her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the pain, for joy that a man is born into the world. ²² You, therefore, have sorrow now; but I shall see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you. ²³ And in that day you shall ask nothing of me; verily, verily I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give you. ²⁴ Till this time you have asked for nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. ²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in parables; the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in parables, but will teach you plainly concerning the Father. ²⁶ In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father in your behalf; ²⁷ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God. ²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world: again I leave the world, and go to the Father. ²⁹ His disciples said to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no parable. ³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast no need that any one should ask thee. By this we believe that thou hast come forth from God. ³¹ Jesus answered them: Do you now believe? ³² Behold, the hour is coming, and has now come, in which you shall be scattered, each one to his own home, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. ³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have affliction, but be of good courage; I have overcome the world.
